The Ballard Blue House is an exceptional property that provided an unforgettable stay. The house is fully equipped with all necessary kitchen utensils, including coffee, spices, and cooking tools, ensuring a comfortable dining experience. Conveniently located in the rear of the house, the parking area offers ample space. The spacious backyard, illuminated by landscape lights, provides a serene retreat after a day of sightseeing. The house boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by central air conditioning. The addition of two separate living spaces, with a dedicated area in the basement for teenagers, enhances the accommodation’s appeal. The host demonstrated exceptional responsiveness and promptness in addressing any inquiries regarding the property. If we were to return to Seattle, we would undoubtedly choose to stay at the Ballard Blue House once again.

Great house with plenty of room
Went to visit my family in Seattle. House says 3 bedrooms, which is accurate. But the house is much bigger. Huge living area downstairs and has a landing on the 3rd floor. Great location too. We plan on staying at that house again.

Love the Ballard Blue!
We had a wonderful stay at the Ballard Blue!The home was so charming and perfect for our family's stay to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UW Seattle. The neighborhood was quiet and in a perfect location near downtown Ballard. The home is wonderfully appointed and has a beautiful private backyard that was perfect for our small family get together. We highly recommend the Ballard Blue. Enclave dud a wonderful job with our booking and we're very communicative top notch hosts.

We flew into Seattle to attend a funeral, sudden and unexpected death of 34 year old family member. With saddened emotions, we found the drive from airport to Ballard Blue quite simple. Beautiful home, in an even more beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend staying at this property. Thank you
